This is a really nice example of one of Topps’ most popular issues in the bawdy decade of the 1970’s, the uber colorful 1975 issue that incorporates blazing full-bleed color borders that so easily reveal even the slightest bit of wear. This set is essentially Excellent to Near-Mint, with some below and the emphasis to Ex-Mt and a truly significant number of Near-Mint examples. There is minimal chipping of the delicate color borders; the quirky MVP Subset comes in at a bit lower grade that the rest, probably closer to Very Good to Ex-Mt, with some below. The breakdown: No. 1 Aaron Highlight – Ex, 2 Highlight – Very Good, 4 Highlight – VG-Ex, 5 Ryan Highlight – Ex-Mt, 20 Munson – Ex-Mt, 21 Fingers – VG, 30 Blyleven (evidence of trim), 50 Brooks Robinson – Near-Mint (autographed), 61 Winfield – Ex, 70 Schmidt – VG-Ex, 80 Fisk – Ex-Mt, 100 Stargell – Ex-Mt, 126 Checklist – VG-Ex, 130 Niekro – Ex-Mt, 140 Garvey – Ex-Mt (autographed), 150 Gibson – Ex, 180 Morgan – Nr-Mt, 223 Yount – Ex, 228 Brett – VG, 230 Hunter – Ex-Mt, 257 Checklist – Ex, 260 Bench – VG-Ex, 280 Yastrzemski – Nr-Mt (autographed), 300 Jackson – Nr-Mt, 320 Rose – Ex, 335 Palmer – VG, 370 Seaver – Ex-Mt-Plus, 386 Checklist – presents Ex, but marked), 450 McCovey – Ex-Mt-Plus, 500 Ryan – VG, 517 Checklist – VG-Ex,530 Perry – Ex-Mt (autographed), 540 Brock – Nr-Mt, 545 Williams – Ex-Mt, 560 Perez – VG-Ex, 585 Torre – Ex-Mt, 580 Frank Robinson – Nr-Mt, 600 Carew – Ex, 616 Rice – Ex-Mt, 620 Carter – Ex-Mt, 640 Killebrew – Nr-Mt, 646 Checklist – Ex-Mt and 660 Aaron – VG-Ex.
